I would use BOX. If you use box, make sure that it is large enough in the
direction of pulling so that the protein does not see its own image even
after it gets extended. If you use sphere, make sure it is big enough so
that the protein is solvated at all times and never sees the finite
boundaries. I have seen studies where somebody has used a too small sphere
and the protein got desolvted once it was unfolded which in my opinion is
not good.
